Counter#

A simple counter that starts counting at 1 at the top of the page, and each time it is invoked, will increase its value. These counters are transient, and relevant to the current page view only - i.e. two persons viewing the same page at the same time get their own counters.

The current counter value is accessible also as a WikiVariable. The name of the variable is "counter", or "counter-<name>", if you have defined a counter name.

Parameters#

• name = counter name. You may define as many counters per page as you want; you just need to separate them with the counter name. This parameter is optional.
• increment = value. (Since 2.8) The amount to increment the counter with, it may be both a positive and a negative value, the default is 1. The parameter is optional.
• start = value (Since 2.8) The starting value of the count, the default value = 0. This parameter is optional.
• showResult = true/false (Since 2.8) Can be true or false, and determines if the counter value should be visible on the page, the default is true. This parameter is optional.

Examples#

Specified value	Result on page	Comments
[{Counter}], [{Counter}], [{Counter}], [{Counter name='aa'}]	1, 2, 3, 1	The value of "counter" at the end is 3 and the value of "counter-aa" is 1.
[{$counter}], [{$counter-aa}]	3, 1	access the counter value via the variable name (without increasing it)
